Indiana basketball's highest-rated signee in the 2016 class is finally in Bloomington.
Overland High School head coach Danny Fisher confirmed to TheHoosier.com that 6-foot-10, 235-pound four-star forward De'Ron Davis arrived on campus Sunday morning. Inside the Hall's Alex Bozich was first to report the news.
The No. 35 player in the Rivals150 for 2016 and top prospect in the state of Colorado, Davis averaged 13.8 points, 8.9 rebounds and 4.5 blocks per game his senior season. He had to finish summer classes back home in Aurora, Colorado, before getting on campus.
Fellow 2016 signee Freddie McSwain, a JUCO transfer from Neosho County [Kansas] Community College who also had academic obligations to satisfy over the summer, arrived on campus last Sunday. The rest of IU's 2016 signees - two-star guard Grant Gelon, three-star guard Devonte Green, and four-star guard Curtis Jones - all arrived and began their enrollment in June.
Despite missing summer workouts with the team, Davis still maintained strong work and nutritional habits over the summer.
"He's worked his butt off and has been very committed to working out and his diet," Fisher said via text-message on Aug. 13. "He's done excellent in the classroom and seems to have a better understanding of 'student athlete.' The whole ordeal has matured him a ton."
With Davis' arrival, all five members of Indiana's 2016 signing class, ranked No. 18 nationally by Rivals, are now enrolled and on campus. Fall semester classes begin Monday.
